Configuration

The configuration differs for virtual and serial consoles. In most cases you would want to setup up autologin on virtual console, the one which device name is ttyN, where N is a number. The configuration of the autologin for the serial consoles will be slightly different. Device names of the serial consoles look like ttySN, where N is a number.

Tip: The option Type=idle will delay the service startup until all jobs (state change requests to units) are completed. When using Type=simple, the service will be started automatically, but boot-up messages may pollute the login prompt. This option is particularly useful when starting X automatically. To use this option, add Type=simple into autologin.conf.
